If you're on a budget and prefer wired on-ear headphones with very good overall sound quality for music listening, Koss Porta Pro could suit you; however, they offer poor mic quality and no noise isolation. Conversely, Mojawa HaptiFit Terra is pricier, but offers very good call quality, is sweatproof and dustproof for exercising, and includes health-tracking features and local music storage, making it versatile for active users. These bone conduction headphones won't give you the best sound quality for music, but the open design is safer for outdoor activities. Give Feedback
